    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi there, I'm new to posting but have been for a considerable time following this matter and have to hand it to the originator for persistence.

 

I tried for months writing to Next attempting to get back PPI without success.

 

Finally wrote to ombudsman hoping to glean from them who the underwriters or group was responsible.

 

They were about as useful as a ashtray on a motorbike obviously never read my letter thoroughly and asked me to supply that info!!!

 

Eventually with no other road to go down and unlike cups was forced to give up.

 

My position was quite clear and unambiguous had received no notification of insurance and being part time only, 12 hrs per week and my husband self-employed would have been excluded in any subsequent claim which Next did not dispute.

 

Given the previous posts with the info available can some one please advise if I should press in the same manner as Next a claim with Phoenix As assuming they have allegedly admitted responsibility.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

I would contact Next for confirmation of insurance details and underwriter.

 

Then I would be sending them a complaint and await their response.

 

Good Luck

Thanx unfortunately Next were not very forthcoming sending a copy of insurance but with no company heading and from the answers here can only assume unless there is a difference of opinion Phoenix are the underwriters and this is what I was hoping to confirm

Hi

The PPI was added in March 1998, about 2 years after the account was opened.

I didn't ask for it, l wouldn't have done.

 

Benloyal - send Next a SAR, bearing in mind l have never had an insurance document at all, l just had an account statement that showed the total

PPI paid.

 

Good Luck,

 

Cups

Thanks Cups.

 

Benloyal - My SAR details from next advised that the insurance was administrated by a company called First Assist. I also contacted them who advised the relevant policy numbers.

 

After further correspondences and persistants, I received copies of the relevant policy. Mine incepted in 1991 and underwriters were originally Phoenix / Groupama / Ageas.

Thinking about it Baz, l did get a letter from Ageas last year but now it is coming from Phoenix, seems like Phoenix lost the argument then.

 

Hope that helps,

That's another different address to what I had and will make note.

 

Mind you mine's been with FOS for quite some time :shock:

Hi,

 

Just thought l would call the Phoenix Group people.

 

They were very pleasant, said they were on the case, mine was one of the ones they were nearly done with and l should hear soon, could not have been nicer.

 

Sounds like there is one guy there doing it all? But he seemed to be doing his best?

 

Will let you know when l hear from them again.

Thanks again cups and please keep me up-dated.

 

If you don't mind me asking, when did you originally complain and who to first ?

 

And when was your complaint submitted to FOS ?

 

Did FOS advise you that Underwriters would be sending you a claim form ?

 

Thanks

Hi Baz,

2012, off the top of my head think it was the start.

Did not get a letter from FOS just the Phoenx letter.

Think from what the guy said they are doing it in tranches,

Cups

 

OK cups many thanks again and suppose I will have to be patient lol.

 

Please keep me posted as I will be interested on how they will calculate refunds. Probably premiums plus 8% statutory and no compound.

 

Cheers

Hi Baz,

Nothing yet but it is 8 weeks next week, will try them again and let you know,

Cups

 

Thanks cups will be interested with what they come back with.

 

I chased FOS for an up-date and a couple of days later I received a letter from Underwriters requesting details of claim. They wanted me to give them authorisation to contact third parties and original contract details including all statements proving insurance payment. They also submitted their complaints procedure.

 

I contacted FOS Adjudicator (fifth in total now) dealing with my original complaint against Underwriters and they were unaware that Phoenix Group had been in touch ? I mentioned that my concern was now another delay as my complaint with FOS has been around 2 years now and what happens if underwriters reject my complaint again - Surely not another complaint for FOS for the same reason ?

 

I asked the adjudicator why they had not made a decision to my outstanding complaint if they have now admitted liability as such - Bless her she was not too sure but did state that it maybe due to the complexity of the complaint ? :???:

Spoke to Phoenix, they are apparently still working out their PPI complaint procedure and are unsure how long it will take, when l mentioned the 8 week time limit l was told that l could go back to FOS but it wouldn't really help, not overly optimistic now !!

Thanks for the up-date cups.

 

Well I received a further letter from Phoenix yesterday advising that their investigations are taking longer than expected (mine only 4 weeks in now with them) and when I contacted FOS today they said just await their final decision ???

 

Now what I don't understand is that my original complaint was originally rejected and therefore passed to FOS for their decision. I received no up-dates for over a year until I contacted them in which I then received a letter advising that after the recent court decision (Nov 2014) that Phoenix have admitted liability.

 

I then receive a letter from Underwriters asking for details of my complaint in which I submitted everything including copies of statements, as that they wanted proof that payments were made. When I mentioned this to FOS they had no idea of this so I suggested that they liaise as soon as possible. The adjudicator contacted me later to say they had spoken with Underwriters and that they were still investigating, so not much help there then.

 

I did mention to FOS that surely as the complaint was with them it is their decision whether or not it was mis-sold but they did not seem to know what to do in which I find quite worrying. So I added what if after 8 weeks Underwriters come back and reject again, will I have to submit another complaint to FOS and start the process over again ? They did not seem to be able to answer that so again my confidence has waned and requested that they let me know as soon as possible. What I can see happening is that the adjudicator / Ombudsman will await Underwriters decision and will just agree with them !

 

Like you my optimism in a positive decision does not look very likely at the moment.

 

I will keep you posted.

Hi Baz,

When l spoke they said they did not have systems in place to investigate, l have not been rejected as such, save to say Next denied they were covered by the selling of the PPI because they were not covered by FOS then, they are now.

Will wait and see,

Cups

Thanks again cups.

 

If you don't mind me asking but who has not got the systems in place - The Ombudsman ?

 

If so then that probably explains why they could not comment on my questions :shock:

Hi Baz, No Phoenix said they were still working out their own PPI system of complaints, they are waiting for the managers to agree the process?? Cups

 

Ok thanks again cups.

 

Oh that will be interesting as I did mention to FOS about interest owing and they said if successful, that they should consider FOS redress policy. That remains to be seen.

 

Will keep you posted.

 

Cheers

 

Baz
